The problem with waiting is that you miss the used books. My D goes to the bookstore as soon as she’s on campus and almost always can get one of the few used books available for most classes - they obviously go first.

I remember that if you wanted a nice used book, you went to the bookstore as early as possible. It sold nice used books for the same price as beat-up falling-apart heavily-written-in used books.
